    Abstract:
    To find a safe and convenient method for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, 89 outpatient cases were treated with CO2 laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty. All cases had been diagnosed and observed with polysomnographic monitoring. The result of 89 cases of OSAS was judged as good in 67 cases (75.7%). Only 6 cases had a little bleeding during operation, no other complication has been encountered.
